For a richer flavor, brown the squirrel pieces in a skillet with a little olive oil before adding them to the slow cooker. If you don't have chicken bouillon cubes, you can substitute with 4 cups of chicken broth. Adjust the amount of salt and pepper to your liking. Serve with crusty bread or biscuits to soak up the delicious broth.
